Hi and welcome to Music Monday! Don’t forget to check out what Mr Music Monday a.k.a. Drew a.k.a. @SarcasticEnigma has in store for you today over on The Tattooed Book Geek!
Tomorrow, the Careless Whisper blog tour kicks off, so today I wanted to celebrate the song it’s named after. It’s one of my favourite 80s hits, I know it’s cheesy (especially when you watch that video) but I couldn’t care less ? To counter the cheesiness I’ve added another version I’ve just discovered, and I really like too!
Fun fact: for the longest time I thought that “guilty feet have got no rhythm” was “guilty feeling, got no rhythm” ? When I sing along, I still have to pay attention to sing it right, old habits die hard.
Anyhoo, have a look at George and Seether!
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool-
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find
I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Never without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one’s gonna dance with me
Please stay
And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
Now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) What I did’s so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
Songwriters: Andrew J. Ridgeley / George Michael
Tell me, I’m eager to know, which do you prefer?? In any case, thanks for joining me and stay tuned for the blog tour starting tomorrow and my stop on Wednesday!
Ah finally I song I know :-)! Great choice 😉 and fun fact: I thought it was guilty feeling too!!
Sooo happy I’m not the only one who missed the feet ?
Oh George every time! Great cover but it would take a lot to get the memory of that video out of this 80’s girl’s head!
I love the cover too but if I have to choose I’m sticking with George too, so much 80s nostalgia ?
George every time for this 80’s girl! Great cover but that video is deeply embedded!
Always George for me!! That voice!!
George is winning this thing ?
This is one of those moments where if someone asks me “do you know Kelly?”, I’m going to have to say “no, I don’t.” ?
? What did I do?! Don’t tell me you’ve never sung along to Georgie boy ?
George, now and forever! ❤️
Was there ever really a contest ?♀️?
OMG I love this track and the seether cover ?? so much better than the version that the Gossip did for radio 1.
I don’t know that one! Will look it up!
I really like that cover version but I’m a George girl too and nothing beats the original!?
The George girls have won ? I’m really fond of the guitars in the Seether version though ?
I go with Seether as it brings back great memories… Love both versions though!
I have another Seether coming up next week ?
This is one of my 80s faves, too, Kelly! I don’t care how cheesy it is! I also love the Seether version! I’m surprised I had the “guilty feet” right!
It’s such a great song, I’m happy you agree ? Haha I’m still singing it wrong, and every time I go: no wait that’s not right ?
